Day 566 – El Jardi de Bisbe (Hopkirk)

Our poet Colin Hopkirk recalls, in the heat of summer, one of the most peaceful places he has ever been.  The Bishop’s Garden.  Day 566 of the daily poems

El Jardi de Bisbe
(the Bishop’s garden, inner courtyard, Ciutadella)

dappled shade
orange and cypress
the scent of roses
and red geraniums
ferns cascade
cistern water drips
a fountain plays

Colin Hopkirk
